Hi!
2017 is ending and I would like to review the GP and PT Travel Guides Project in this year. 2017 has been a year of numbers, hard working and people.
This year, thanks to the collaboration and effort of 72 judges, we have published:
• 7 travel guides in Asia-Pacific georegion
• 13 travel guides in Europe
• 10 travel guides in North America
• 4 travel guides in Latin America
From all these travel guides, I would like to remark four of them. Although all guides are great, because the hard work of many judges is on them, some of them have special marks that make me underline them:
• GP Manila Travel Guide: A fresh guide with a different format.
• GP Barcelona Travel Guide: A professional layout for a very nice guide.
• GP Denver Travel Guide: Any judge may help in the project, the level is not important here.
• GP Santiago Travel Guide: Simplicity also helps if everything you need is in the guide.
I would like to thanks the whole team that manages all the volunteers for making all these guides possible. Some of them leave for helping in other projects in the Judge Community. To those who left the project, thanks a lot for your effort: Joe Brooks, Hans Wang
, Nicola DiPasquale
, Witold Waczynski
, Jaspa Stritt
.
And we are having new incorporations: QJ Wong and Laura Ellis. With them, the areas distribution are like this:
• Europe: Kepa Arrieta and José Luis Rofa
• Japan: Yoshitoki Sakai
and Akira Seno
• Asia-Pacific: QJ Wong
• Latin America: Santiago Prieto
• North America: Laura Ellis
and Antonio José Rodríguez
.
But there are many people behind all these numbers. I would like to remember all of them:
Sam HungAlso the RCs are a key stone in our project, without their help looking for volunteers, this would not be possible.
For 2018, we hope to have more interesting travel guides, that would make your trips to Grand Prix and Pro Tour more enjoyable. If you have any suggestion, or want to collaborate (in the project or in a particular travel guide) you can write to us to mtg.gp.travel.guides@gmail.com.
